Tilting the rear seat completely forwards
allows maximum loading volume.
Proceed as follows:
completely lower the rear seat head
restraints;
operate release devices 1 to fold
both the right and the left backrest
section, following as previously
described.
Repositioning the backrests
13)
Raise the backrests and push them
back until the locking click of both
retainers is heard. Visually check that
the red marks have disappeared from
the release devices 1 fig. 12.The presence of the red notches
indicates that the backrest is not
secured. In the left buckle (without the
red unlock button on the slot) insert the
first tongue which is located at the end
of the diagonal section of the seat belt
of the central seat.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.
13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.14)People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
heater. It could cause burns even at a low
temperature, especially when used for long
periods of time.
15)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
IMPORTANT
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

12)When painting in an oven, the LPG tank
must be removed from the car and later
refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the
LPG system has numerous safety features,
it is advisable to proceed as follows every
time the vehicle is not in use for a long
period or moved in an emergency as a
result of a breakdown or accident: unscrew
the devices fastening the cover of the LPG
tank, then remove it. Close the LPG cock
rotating the ring nut clockwise (see
"Passive safety / active safety"). Refit the
cover and retighten the fastening devices.
13)When switching is requested, metallic
noise from the valves which pressurise the
circuit can be heard. For the switching logic
described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
14)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.15)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without a
visual indication of switching on the
instrument panel. In the event of low LPG
levels in the tank or request for high
performance (e.g. overtaking, car fully
laden, steep hills) the system may
automatically switch to petrol operation to
guarantee the engine power requested; the
green warning light
on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. When
the above conditions are no longer present,
the system automatically restores LPG
operation; the green warning light
switches off. To achieve the automatic
switching described above, make sure that
there is always enough fuel in the petrol
tank.
16)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG. Periodically (at least
once every six months) it is advisable to let
the LPG in the tank run out and, at the first
refuelling, to check that it does not exceed
the maximum capacity of 42 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 1 litres
excess). If the level is above 42 litres
(reserve included) contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.
17)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.

DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a display
that can show useful information to the
driver while driving.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the
icon appears on the
display, the GSI suggests switching to a
higher gear, while when the
icon is
displayed, the GSI suggests changing
to a lower gear.
The indication in the display remains
until a gear is shifted or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.
MULTIFUNCTION

show the quantity of oil in the engine: the oil level must be checked manually.
red
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red) and(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
IMPORTANT
18)Driving the vehicle with this symbol on may severely damage the gearbox, with resulting breakage. The oil may also overheat: contact with

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
redSEAT BELTS REMINDER
The warning light switches on constantly if the vehicle is stationary and the driver side or passenger side
seat belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not fastened. The warning
light flashes and a buzzer will sound if the vehicle is in motion and the driver side or passenger side seat
belt (for versions/markets, where provided), with the passenger seated, is not correctly fastened. In this
case, fasten the seat belt.
redENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display on some versions) switches on when the engine is overheated.
In normal driving conditions: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the coolant level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir itself. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on
(or the icon is displayed) again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and,
if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or three minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to facilitate better coolant circulation, then turn the engine off. Check that the coolant
level is correct as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine running and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before turning it off.
redALTERNATOR FAILURE
If this warning light or symbol switches on when the engine is running, this indicates a vehicle recharging
system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
redDOOR OPEN
The warning light or the symbol turns on when one or more doors (or, for some versions also the bonnet
and the engine bonnet) are not perfectly closed (for versions/markets, where provided). An acoustic signal
is activated with the doors open and the car moving. Close the doors properly.
